SUBTITLE: Over one year ago...

---

(The bedroom is also Oh Sung-Moo's former office.)
Kang Chul, works on the computer. Accounting spreadsheets.
Yeon-Joo embraces him tenderly from behind. Bouncy belly, pregnant.

:

My beloved Kang Chul, very competent in mathematics... Are you in charge of household accounting?

:

Yes, and we're going through a rough period.

:

Does my husband spend like a Cheabol, without affording it?

:

No, I know how to be economical when I have to. But our budget is far too meager.

:

It's my fault. I did not want to remain subject to the fate imposed by "W".

:

Instead of founding a computer company, I chose acting as a career. Except that my drama won't start until next year.

:

I'm at fault too... I've given up on the hospital, now that our number 4 will deliver a Chul-Moo.

:

And I really want to draw!

:

Also, we'll get Dad's inheritance in 4 months!

:

It's not immediate. We are in the bottom of the wave.

:

It's up to the man to feed his home, I was inconsistent.

:

So, you will be able to assume your role.

:

What do you mean?

:

Do me a favor. Bring me back a gold ingot!

:

Ah! I've thought about it.

:

But in "W" as here, gold bars are engraved and referenced.

:

I can import an ingot, but it will be unusable. Or I would have to falsify a certificate.

(thinks)

:

This document is more accurate than a bank bill. A counterfeit would be detected, and I don't want to defraud.

:

I have an idea that avoids fraud, and provides a compliant certificate.

:

... (dubious)

:

You will always surprise me. How?

:

You must have observed... What we drew on the tablet was always imprecise.

:

It's normal, a drawing is not a picture. It's sketchy and artistic.

:

My father's tablet, with the same powers!

:

... (nods)

:

The tablet understands the author's intention. So if I draw a certificate, even a rough one, it will become authentic.

:

I'll draw it when you get the ingot in "W".

:

You made some interesting observations.

:

But "W" is over. We can't draw anything on it anymore.

:

It's not certain.

:

... (appalled)

:

Okay, it didn't work in the past...

---

---

(doubts)

:

See, that's impossible.

(sorry smile)

:

You said the tablet was not magic...

:

It did not create the phenomenon. It became a tool for altering the laws of physics, a bridge between worlds.

:

Probably because Oh Sung-Moo worked on it for years.

:

A conjunction between his psychic imprint, the other world, and my will.

:

So any other tablet would have worked, after a while?

:

Yes, as long as it was sufficiently impregnated with the manhwa.

Yeon-Joo opens a closet, and takes out a tablet stored inside.

Yeon-Joo shows the tablet's back with the talisman stuck on it.

:

This is Soo-Bong's former tablet. He worked on it for years on "W".

:

... (slightly surprised)

:

On my father's tablet, his drawings didn't work. But I, the manhwa recognized me as one of its true authors.

:

Soo-Bong's tablet is already impregnated with manhwa and works. Bravo genius, your theory is validated!

:

...! (mouth open, falls from the sky)

---

---

:

Wait Yeon-Joo, we won't create a sequel, just to fix our money issues!

:

I don't want to be dependent on a manhwa again.

:

Certainly not!

:

And then... We can't create a sequel.

:

... (intrigued)

:

As you explained, the manhwa definitely ended, showing "FINAL CHAPTER".

:

So what's your idea?

:

Occasionally, authors publish inserts of already finished works. To please the fans, without creating a sequel.

(pensive)

:

They tell, in a page or two, a undercovered situation. An amusing event, often from the hero's past.

(gauging)

:

That's what we are gonna do!

:

All right!

:

I'll get the ingot in "W".

---

Kang Chul searches on the computer, then shows the screen to Yeon-Joo.

:

This is the type of document we need.

:

Draw this certificate without delay. We'll see if it appears in my hand.

:

... (nods)

:

See you soon, sweetheart...

(smiles tenderly at him)

FZZT! Kang Chul disappears, blurred by an inter-dimensional interference.
Yeon-Joo turns on Soo-Bong's tablet and grabs her electronic stylus.

---

A few moments later... Yeon-Joo raises her stylus.

:

That's it.

On the tablet, the drawing of the certificate is finished.
Suddenly, Soo-Bong brokes at the front door (the partition is open to the living room).

:

Noona!

Immediately, Yeon-Joo turns off the tablet.

:

Noona, what are you doing on my old tablet?

:

Nothing, I was just cleaning it...

Yeon-Joo takes a dirty cloth, and polishes the tablet, leaving dirty traces on it.

:

C'mon Noona, you're trying too hard.

:

A pregnant woman should not exhaust herself with this. It's my job to clean it!

:

But no! You're nice enough to lend Chul some money.

KZZT! Kang Chul materializes two steps away from Soo-Bong.

:

(doesn't notice Soo-Bong) Yeon-joo, this has--

:

Oh Oh, Ah! (surprised)

:

...! (surprised)

BING! Kang Chul accidentally drops a heavy object behind him.

:

I was scared! Did you go for a ride in "W", Hyung?

Kang Chul picks up the object, hiding it from Soo-Bong.

:

What's that, Hyung Kang?

:

It's nothing.

Kang Chul immediately put the object in his pocket.

Kang Chul comes forward boldly, and grabs Yeon-Joo by the wrist.

:

We leave you, we have something to talk about.

The couple slips away in their room, closing the door.

:

What are those two cooking up?

---

Kang Chul and Yeon-Joo whisper.

:

So how's it going?

:

TADAM!

With one hand, he takes out the certificate, as successful as a real one.
And in the other hand, the gold ingot.

Yeon-Joo is thrilled by the joy with Kang Chul.
Suddenly, she becomes serious again.

:

Wait...

Yeon-Joo takes out her smartphone and scrolls through the pages.

:

"THE END"! It still says "THE END"!

:

Nothing has changed.

:

The interlude has not been published.

:

Don't you think it's weird?

:

It happened as planned, it didn't create a sequel.

:

... (concerned)

:

Is something wrong?

:

We explained the process well. But I have the feeling that I'm missing something.

:

Your intuition, maybe?

---

Back to present...

---

On the wall clock: 00:30 am.
Yeon-Joo and Kang Chul come back from the kitchen.

:

Soo-Bong, we'll try your idea.

:

(enthusiastic) Really? I'll go in "W"?

:

We will first do a test to check if it works.

:

So what should I do? You take my hand and we teleport there?

:

Come to our bedroom.

---

The trio enters.

Yeon-Joo opens a closet, and takes out Soo-Bong's old tablet.

:

You stored it here, Noona?

:

But why take this old tablet?

:

You use yours to draw "Butterfly Girl".

:

Let's not mix it up.

:

Two living manhwas drawn on the same tablet is a problem?

:

I hadn't thought of that.

:

This indeed involves unpredictable risks.

Yeon-Joo puts the tablet on the desk and turns it on.

:

So, are you gonna create a time difference with the world of "W" ?

:

But how? I thought there was no way to draw "W" anymore.

:

As soon as Hyung Kang came to the real world, after the end of "W", the time of the two worlds became the same.

:

I'll just draw a short, hidden scene.

:

An alternative scene unconnected to the main plot. Nothing that changes the manhwa's story and its conclusion.

The tablet is ready, Yeon-Joo raises her electronic stylus.

:

I'm ready.

:

Okay, let's go.

Kang Chul grabs Soo-Bong's arm, surprised that things move so fast.
KFFR! They blink, colored inter-dimensional interferences, then...
FZZT! They disappear!

---

An old van is parked on the street.

KRZKSHHHH. Radio interference noise.

---

Sang-Deuk and Young-Sik are sitting in the rear, facing a radio receiver.
TR-KR-ZTFFFF. Sang-Deuk turns the frequency knob on the radio.

:

It's the right frequency, I don't understand...

:

Boss, don't tell me I did all this for nothing!

:

Nothing to do, I've tried everything for one hour.

:

Why doesn't it work?

(is fed up and relaxes a bit)

(frowns and stares at Young-Sik)

:

Did you turn on the transmitter before you placed it?

:

What do you mean?

:

The switch, the one I showed you, for heaven's sake!

:

Ah, the small button on the side... Was it that important?

Sang-Deuk grabs Young-Sik and shakes him around.

:

Poor spot, dumb asshole, fat cunt of shit!

:

... (shaken, starts whining)

:

Sorry boss, I was running, I was shaking, I was afraid not to hide this mess in time, I completely forgot.

:

You're the king of morons! What's the point of a transmitter if it transmit nothing?

:

I'm sorry, boss, I'll be more careful next time.

:

What next time? We're burned now!

:

Boss, it would have worked better if you had placed the transmitter yourself.

:

And couldn't we have slipped it in discreetly instead?

:

Are you a pickpocket ace? No? Neither do I!

:

All this has been nothing but trouble for us.

:

Admit it, boss, your plan was flawed from the beginning...

:

... (relaxes with a sigh)

:

What are we going to do now?

---

Replica of the house in "W", less furniture, empty office.

KZZT! Kang Chul and Soo-Bong appear here by teleportation.

:

Wow!

:

What are we going to do now?

:

Me? Nothing!

:

I leave, and I'll come back in a few hours.

:

And me then?

:

You don't do anything either. You stay right here.

:

Huh? But--

Without listening, Kang Chul goes to the main room.

---

Kang Chul opens the drawer of a cabinet and takes out a smartphone.
Soo-Bong enters, and looks at Kang Chul without the spring to speak.
Kang Chul quickly types a message and sends it.
He puts the phone in the drawer.
He winks at Soo-Bong, then FZZT!, he disappears.
Disappointed, Soo-Bong looks at the clock, 01:30 am.

---

KZZT! Kang Chul reappears alongside Yeon-Joo.
Yeon-Joo finishes a drawing of Soo-Bong in the replica's living room
At the top, a text box indicates "6 hours later".

:

If the test succeeds, it will pass 6 hours for Soo-Bong.

:

Half an hour for us.

:

Let's plan this, so it's less chaotic than our adventures in "W".

:

Yes. Our life is about to go totally crazy again.

:

Already, no need to wait half an hour, it was just a maximum time.

:

Your first trip in "W" was shorter. So were the trips where I forced the chapter ends.

:

I just need to make sure that the time spent matches your drawing.

:

See you soon...

FZZT! Kang Chul disappears from the real world.

---

KZZT! Kang Chul reappears in "W".
The clock displays 07:30 am.

Soo-Bong is snoring on the sofa.
Kang Chul grabs a half-filled bottle of water from the coffee table.
He smiles, opens the bottle, and empties the contents on Soo-Bong's face.

:

Blurp... What?

:

Hey, but oh!

(joking smile)

:

Hyung? Are you back?

(notice it's daytime)

:

Did it work?

DING DONG! They hear the doorbell ringing.
Kang Chul goes to open the door.

:

...?!

He returns with SEO DO-YOON (40), in great fitness, looking younger than his age.

:

Soo-Bong, meet my Hyung. Now it's yours too!

Do-Yoon is shocked and looks at Kang Chul, who is smiling.
Then he looks at Soo-Bong, who is speechless.

---

KZZT! Kang Chul reappears next to Yeon-Joo.

:

So?

:

It worked! And Do-Yoon will take care of Soo-Bong.

:

I can't spend 3 months away from You and our child.

:

It won't be easy for him...

:

Well, Soo-Bong is resolute to make efforts, he'll take on himself.

:

No, I meant Do-Yoon...

:

... (amused and surprised)

:

Let's end this quickly and get some sleep. I have a hard day of shooting tomorrow.

:

All right, I'll draw Soo-Bong and Do-Yoon after a training session, with the text "3 months later".

:

Draw them in the replica instead. I asked them to be there 3 months later.

:

This saves me unnecessary travels...

:

Ah, my beloved husband has no longer his action hero youth.

:

Hey, I might give you proof to the contrary later.

Yeon-Joo starts drawing.

:

An important thing for tomorrow.

:

You'll have to convince Soo-Bin and your publisher to continue the Manhwa.

:

Yes, I understand. New scenes will appear.

:

Even if the publisher stops the publication, it will continue by itself.

:

Right, the situation would be out of control.

:

By any means, "Butterfly Girl" must be published officially.

---

The clock displays 10:30 am.

Do-Yoon and Soo-Bong are dressed impeccably, in costume.
Yet they are heckling amicably.
KZZT!
Do-Yoon makes a fighting key around Soo-Bong's neck.

:

Hey, stop, Hyung, that's not fair!

:

I don't know this grip!

(maintains the grip without forcing, casual)

:

Yah ! (Soo-Bong twists Do-Yoon's belly with a fist)

:

Ah ah ! Stop getting away with tickling!

:

I'll tell you the next time you--

They realize that Kang Chul was already here and interrupt their heckling.

(tired and surprised)

:

hum... (embarrassed)

(fears a serious atmosphere)

:

Thank you for everything, Hyung.

:

And sorry I can't stay longer.

:

That's fine, President.

:

Soo-Bong had time to explain everything to me.

:

Soo-Bong, let's go.

Without politeness, Kang Chul grabs Soo-Bong and separates him from Do-Yoon.

(warm and friendly smile)

:

See you soon, Hyung! Take care of--

His sentence is not finished, FZZT!, they already teleport.

---

KZZT! Kang Chul and Soo-Bong reappear.

:

... yourself?!

:

I feel like I've become an inter-dimensional taxi.

:

Oh! (sees Soo-Bong)

Soo-Bong has gained color and lost weight. His body shape is more athletic.

(contemplates his expensive branded suit)

:

A gift from Hyung, at W's expense.

:

Did it go well?

Agitated by an overflowing energy, Soo-Bong tells with enthusiasm...

:

Noona! It was great!

:

Hyung Seo is fantastic!

:

With such a good teacher, I would have started martial arts earlier!

:

Every day, we went to the--

Kang Chul grabs Soo-Bong by the sleeve.

:

Follow me. (forces Soo-Bong out of the room)

:

But... where are we going?

---

Kang Chul drags Soo-Bong out of the house. Toward the garden.

---

Kang Chul and Soo-Bong arrive near a garden shed.

:

Huh?

Kang Chul opens the shed.
He clicks on a switch inside, and turns on the light in the garden.
He takes out a shovel and a spade and hands it to Soo-Bong.

:

Yeon-Joo would like to make a vegetable garden there. (shows a garden section.)

:

Just spend your energy turning the soil.

:

What? In the middle of the night?

Without answering, Kang Chul leaves Soo-Bong, pounding and questioning.
Before rounding the corner of the house, he turns slightly.

:

Ah! And don't leave this place. We'll need you tomorrow morning.

Then Kang Chul goes out of sight.

:

What's wrong with him? Why is he mad at me?

:

We haven't seen each other in 3 months, and all he wants is for--

(notices a wooden board on the fence)

(plants the shovel and spade, then gets closer to the board)

:

Direct from left, right hook...

Laughing, he performs some boxing movements against the board.

---

Young-Sik looks up.

:

(whispering) Boss! Get down, you'll get spotted!

View of Soo-Bong boxing, in a pair of binoculars.
Sang-Deuk removes the binoculars. He's standing on a large trash can.

:

This guy is crazy! Is he gonna stay out all night?

:

It makes him laugh, moreover...

:

Boss, nothing more will happen. Let's go to sleep!

Sang-Deuk comes down from the trash can.

:

Well, the rest of the house is off.

:

There is only this oddball who digs holes, or boxes against a board.

:

Dressed as if he was going to a gala!

:

Is that their watchdog or what?

:

He's probably an accomplice. We'll see about that later!

:

I'm sleepy. Stay here if you want. Me, I'm going to have a rest.

:

No way.

:

Huh?

:

But...?!

:

You take the moped and go to my home.

:

(hands a sheet of notepads) Bring me back what I wrote on this.

:

Oh no, please boss! I can't take it anymore. I can't stand up anymore.

:

You're not gonna quibble. If we're stuck here, it's your fault!

:

Pfff... (lowers his head, reluctantly accepts)

---

Still in the water, Ren-Bo dives her hands in all directions.

She cries and screams. Purple wings.

:

Soo-Bong! Where are you?

Sin-Moo is next to the shore guardrail.

:

Ren-Bo, stop it!

:

I can't, he's drowning!

:

It's been ten minutes! If he drowned, it's too late.

:

No, no, no!

:

Soo-Booooooong!

:

Pity, make sure he didn't drown!

:

That's enough, join me!

:

In any case, he would have been swept away by the stream.

:

What you're doing is useless.

Ren-Bo calms down, and stays still for a while.

:

Come now.

Ren-Bo moves to the shore.

---

Ren-Bo comes out of the water and arrives to the guardrail.
Sin-Moo reaches out to her, to help her overcome the obstacle.
Instead of grabbing his hand, FLIP-FLAP!, she jumps over the railing, thanks to a wings flap.

:

What?

:

Ren-Bo, how could you--

But Ren-Bo walks straight ahead, without any will to discuss.

:

Ren-Bo, where are you going?

:

Let me walk you home. I met some suspicious guys when I arrived.

Arriving near the sports car, Ren-Bo looks sadly at Sin-Moo.

:

Thank you, Oppa. (Oppa = Older boy: brother, friend or lover)

:

... (worried smile)

Sin-Moo helps her board the car's rear seat.

Sin-Moo's flower bouquet is on the ground, next to the car.
Climbing into the car, Ren-Bo tramples it, without noticing it.

---

---

Sitting in the two back seats, Ren-Bo has enough room for her wings.

She cries, shaken by little hiccups, her breath intersected.

:

Ren-Bo, please stop crying like that.

(calms down)

-

Did he really drown?

---

---

:

Ren-Bo, who was that guy?

:

I don't know...

:

You don't know, and you're making a whole scene?

:

You can't understand.

:

He's after you, isn't he?

:

No...

:

But you still kiss each other?

:

I had nothing to do with it!

Reddish streaks dot Ren-Bo's wings.

:

So he threatened you? Huh?

:

No more!

:

It doesn't make any sense. What you're saying is absurd.

:

You find yourself in the river for no reason, kissing a stranger.

:

Stop it!

:

I've been by your side for years, helping you as best I can.

:

And overnight, you do anything.

:

Shut up! But shut up!

Ren-Bo's wings are scarlet red.

:

No, you have to explain yourself!

:

Besides, you may be involved in a case with a man's death!

Bright purple streaks shear through Ren-Bo's red wings.

:

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !

:

(shouting) Stop the car!

:

What? But--

KRAAACK! A thunderbolt strikes outside the car and lit up all.

:

(screaming like a hysteric) STOP THE DAMN CAR RIGHT NOW!!!!!

:

...!! (shocked, scared, he brakes immediately)

Park parks his car near a park. ^^

---

Ren-Bo gets out of the car and VLAM!, slams the door violently. Then walks away.
RRMMBL! Storm rumble.
Sin-Moo also comes out, but stays by his open door.
He limply slams his arm on the roof of the car, sighing heavily.

Ren-Bo walks towards the park adjacent to the river bank.

---
